Goalkeeper Chapman extends Huddersfield contract

Jacob Chapman has had loan spells with Gateshead, Salford and Rochdale

Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Jacob Chapman has had a contract extension triggered with the League One club.

Chapman, 24, has had his deal automatically extended until at least 2027 with 18 months added to his existing deal.

The Australian has made 24 appearances for the first-team this season and kept nine clean sheets, enjoying an extended run in the side when first-choice goalkeeper Lee Nicholls was injured in the first half of the campaign.

"This has been a really important season for me, so I'm delighted that my performances have seen my contract with the club extended," Chapman told the club's website.

The Terriers are eighth in League One with five games to play, four points outside the play-off spots.
